Abstract
A new two-stage analytical-evolutionary algorithm considering dynamic equations is presented to find global optimal path. The analytical method is based on the indirect open loop optimal control problem and the evolutionary method is based on genetic algorithm (GA). Initial solutions, as start points of optimal control problem, are generated by GA to be used by optimal control. Then, a new sub-optimal path is generated through optimal control. The cost function is calculated for every optimal solution and the best solutions are chosen for the next step. The obtained path is used by GA to produce new generation of start points. This process continues until the minimum cost value is achieved. In addition, a new GA operator is introduced to be compatible with optimal control. It is used to select the pair chromosomes for crossover. The proposed method eliminates the problem of optimal control (being trapped in locally optimal point) and problem of GA (lack of compatibility with analytical dynamic equations). Hence problem is formulated and verification is done by comparing the results with a recent work in this area. Furthermore effectiveness of the method is approved by a simulation study for spatial non-holonomic mobile manipulators through conventional optimal control and the new proposed algorithm.
